    Klitschk0 fans list of top ten heavyweights of all time

    1. Wlad, greatest resume of all time
    1B. Vitali H2H beats everyone
    3. COrrie Sanders- Hardest puncher in the heavyweight division, EVER
    4. Chris Byrd- Slickest boxer in the heavyweight division ever.
    5. Ross Purrity- Grizzled old veteran that could only be beaten by a non green fighter which is someone with over 45 fights.
    6. Tomasz Adamek- Unstoppable at lower divisions, would be champ if not for Klitschkos
    7. Lamon Brewster- Clever enough to poison Wlad before the fight, wily opponent
    8. Sam Peter- More power than Shavers, Foreman, and Frazier combined.
    9. Lennox Lewis- Kept the belt warm until the Klitschkos came along. Lucked in win against Vitali.
    10. TIe Kevin Johnson and Shannon Briggs. They actually went the distance with Vitali.


    All those guys in the 70's were overarated. Marciano would be a cruiserweight and Louis had no chin.

    Plus fighters from the 70's could not match any of todays top heavyweights because of advances in training and nutrition which gives todays heavies superior size, strength, and conditioning.

    So I guess you can ignore everything everyone has to say about Shavers's power also. Which leaves us with what?

    I think you can discount the opinion of a man who was viciously knocked out by a lighter puncher than someone he went the distance with. That's clearly bollocks.

    Opinions of boxers means a lot. When its clearly untrue, as Rahman's claims are, it should be ignored.

    Do you happen to disagree on any particular point?

    I can't figure out how the hell Sanders generates his power. He seemed to knock the guy down with an arm punch.

    How could Sander's hit so hard when it was apparent he didn't have much muscle mass. He was built more like a middle-aged couch potato than a professional prizefighter.

    For those on here who like to completely dismiss Sanders punching power, just take a look at some of his ****ing fights. Listen and look at the impact of his shots. Case closed

    Now I agree Shavers had the heavier hands, but Sanders had the faster hands. Really two different kinds of power. But as far as which one would scramble somebody's brains more when he connected... gotta go with Earnie. But both could crack no doubt.

    I think Moorer had similar power to Sanders and Shavers but his power was vastly underrated because he was a small heavyweight.

    A prime Moorer punches as hard as a prime Mike Tyson, it's just Mike Tyson looked like a puncher while Moorer didn't. Look at the KO percentages, they do not lie.

    Hearns had technique. The closest thing we have to a Bernie Sanders is Kelly Pavlik. Kelly throws soft looking arm punches but he also loads up and has technique so you can see how he generates his power. Bernie Sanders I can't see where the **** he generates that much power.

    I wonder if his gloves were loaded considering the kind of power he generated with just an arm punch and a straight punch at that. That Margarito guy used to throw soft looking punches and we found out how he was able to knock Cotto out.

    Pacquiao has huge legs so we know where his power came from. Tyson has huge legs too. Holyfield is just built strong so you know he can punch. Moorer had huge feet, legs and fists along with perfect technique.

    Bernie Sanders has huge feet, long weak looking arms and legs. I don't know how he can be so uncoordinated looking and do that.

    I thought it was just Brittards offering an excuse as to why Lennox ducked Sanders
